Red Raider Retreat - Walk to Texas Tech

Red Raider Retreat is a newly renovated modern home in Tech Terrace! Unwind in this cozy, family-friendly home perfect for relaxing during your stay or making memories in the backyard complete with a putting green and basketball court.
You will love staying in this beautiful 2 bedroom 2 bathroom home in Tech Terrace, just steps from Texas Tech University
We are located on the only 1920s brick street in the historic Tech Terrace neighborhood. Built in the 1930s, this house has been home to hundreds of Red Raiders before falling into disrepair in 2021. While undergoing an extensive remodel, we worked hard to preserve the character and charm of the original home while crafting a stunningly modern, but traditional interior.

Red Raider Retreat sleeps 6 people with 2 bedrooms and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room.

We are just steps from Texas Tech University and a short walk to Jones AT&T Stadium, United Supermarkets Arena, J&B Coffee, a grocery store, and Cafe J.

In the backyard, we have a wood-burning fire pit, a putting green, and a half-basketball court. Perfect for making memories with family and friends as well as enjoying the cool nights during football season. Basketballs, putters, and golf balls are provided but you will need to provide your own fuel for the fire.

We are located in a convenient location for everything. We are near the intersection of 19th and University, making it easy to access everything available in Lubbock.

The house is equipped with a front door camera and a camera for the backyard for added security.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a coffee maker.

Perfection

Everything about this place is perfect. Being located a block south of campus provides easy access to visit/tour. The property itself is clean, and well stocked with everything you will need for your stay. The backyard is a great bonus to get outside and have some fun before a game, or to wind down an evening.
